iOS counterpart of #70. Factory teardown is now two-phase (close PCs, then dispose on a later worker-queue turn so close-triggered callbacks drain first), createCallFactory/disposeCallFactory are serialized behind an in-flight teardown, and SDP/ICE completions plus ICE-candidate/data-channel/receiver delegate callbacks are skipped (or rejected with E_PC_DISPOSED) once their PeerConnection is disposed.

Block peer-connection creation while factory disposal is pending.
peerConnectionInit is exported and dispatches synchronously to workerQueue. It creates a peer connection through self.peerConnectionFactory without checking factoryDisposalPending. A call queued after phase one but before phase two can add a new connection to peerConnections. Phase two then calls peerConnectionDispose, which removes the connection without calling close.
Reject creation while factoryDisposalPending is set.

+ if (self.factoryDisposalPending) {
+ ret = NO;
+ return;

Reject completions while factory disposal is pending.
Factory teardown closes each registered peer connection before phase two removes it from peerConnections. An SDP or ICE completion queued during this interval can pass the identity check and settle its promise against the closed connection.
Set a per-peer-connection disposing flag before teardown calls close, and make RunOnLivePeerConnection reject or skip when that flag is set.

Summary
iOS follow-up to #70 (Android pc close/dispose race).
On iOS, ARC means there is no use-after-free, but the same race still shows up as logic bugs:
peerConnectionDisposeand mutate a disposed PC (re-adding track adapters/remote tracks, data channels).createCallFactorytearing down a stale bare-fork default could overlap building the new factory with the old factory's teardown.What changed
WebRTCModule.mdisposeCurrentFactoryOrdered:is now two-phase with anonDisposed(BOOL)completion. Phase 1 closes every PC (no dispose). Phase 2 runs on a later worker-queue turn, after the callbacks that close queued: it disposes PCs, then releases tracks, streams, and the video-effects processor, then disposes the factory.factoryDisposalPendinggets cleared in@finally.createCallFactory/disposeCallFactorygo throughrunFactoryOperation:/drainFactoryOperations, so a lifecycle request waits until any in-flight teardown finishes.createCallFactorybuilds the new factory from the teardown completion, never inline.disposeCallFactoryresolves from the completion.WebRTCModule+RTCPeerConnection.mRunOnLivePeerConnection(module, pc, reject, block). It dispatches to the worker queue and runsblockonly ifpeerConnections[pc.reactTag]is still the same PC. Otherwise it rejects withE_PC_DISPOSED, or skips whenrejectis nil.didGenerateIceCandidate,didOpenDataChannel,didAddReceiver, anddidRemoveReceiverdelegate callbacks.closedto clean up.Behaviour matches #70's
